BEST WESTERN Monkbar Hotel
One of York's treasures, the hotel is at the heart of York overlooking the city walls, just a Roman stone's throw away from the city's historic landmarks. Five minutes from York Minster and the famous Shambles, you'll also be within easy reach of the city's selection of individual designer shops and boutiques. York has an array of museums that offer a glimpse into the city's rich past, from Jorvik to the finest railway museum in the world.
Exploring York and Yorkshire
York is the perfect place to stay, and from here you can explore the best that Yorkshire has to offer - the Moors, the Dales and the rugged coast with hidden fishing villages. There's a wealth of historic houses and awesome gardens right on the doorstep. Further afield you can enjoy locations made famous by writers and television- from Haworth and the Bronte country to the setting for Emmerdale, and Goatland - the location for Heartbeat.
